POWER 8UPPLY FOR A Ra8TER CENTER _ ~T.r
FOR A VIDEO DI8PLAY APPLIANCE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
5 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a power supply for a raster
center controller for a video display appliance having a deflection
type cathode ray tube. In particular, the present invention
relates to a power supply for a raster center controller for a
10 video display appliance which can prevent picture movement
E'h~n''--n~ Of a cathode ray tube which are caused by an unstable
power supply to the raster center controller due to a change of a
horizontal frequency.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional power supply for a raster center controller for
a video display appliance is shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG.
1, the conventional power supply for a raster center controller is
provided with a deflection section 1 for generating a pulse signal
for controlling a horizontal deflection coil HDY1 in response to
20 an input horizontal signal, a transformer T1 composed of coils L1,
L2, and L3 for generating a prede~r~;n~ voltage in response to
the pulse signal inputted from the deflection section 1 and an
input deflection voltage +B, a diode D1, coupled to the secondary
coils L2 and L3 of the transformer T1 the center tap of which is
25 coupled to the deflection voltage +B, for rectifying the voltage
developed in the secondary coil L2 and providing a positive voltage
higher than the deflection voltage +B, a capacitor Cl for being
charged and discharged with the positive voltage rectif ied by and
provided from the diode Dl, a diode D2, coupled to the secondary

2 1 80399
coils L2 and L3 of the transformer T1 the center tap of which is
coupled to the deflection voltage +B, for rectifying the voltage
developed in the secondary coil L3 and providing a negative voltage
lower than the deflection voltage +B, a capacitor C2 for being
5 charged and discharged with the negative voltage rectif ied by and
provided from the diode D2, and a raster center control section 2,
the output of which is coupled to the horizontal deflection coil
~DY1, for controlling a movement of a raster on a cathode ray tube
in response to the positive and negative voltages provided via the
10 capacitors C1 and C2, respectively.
The conventional power supply for a r~ster center controller
is also provided with a high voltage generating section 3 for
generating a high voltage pulse signal in response to the input
horizontal signal, and a flyback transformer FBT1 driven by the
15 high voltage pulse 6ignal generated by the high voltage generating
section 3.
In the drawing, the reference numeral C3 denotes a capacitor,
and L5 and L6 denote coils of the flyback transformer.
The operation of the conventional power supply for a raster
20 center controller as constructed above will now be explained.
As the input horizontal signal is applied to the def lection
section 1 and the high voltage generating section 3, the high
voltage generating section 3 generates and provides the high
voltage pulse signal to the primary coil L5 of the f lyback
25 transformer FBT1. The flyback transformer FBT1 is driven by an
input high supply voltage +s and the high voltage pulse signal
provided from the high voltage generating section 3, and develops
on its secondary coil L6 a high voltage output for driving the
cathode ray tube.

2~ 80399 ~- -
`. ~
At the same time, by the input of the horizontal signal, the
deflection section 1 generates and outputs the pulse signal to the
horizontal deflection coil HDY1 and to the transformer T1, so that
a pulse voltage is developed in the secondary coils L2 and L3 of
5 the transformer T1. At this time, the deflection voltage +B is
applied to the primary coil L1 and the center tap of the secondary
coils L2 and L3 of the transformer T1.
The pulse voltage developed in the secondary coil LZ is
rectified by the diode D1, and the rectified voltage is provided
10 to the capacitor C1, resulting in that the positive voltage which
is higher than the deflection voltage +B charges the capacitor C1
as shown in FIG. 2B.
Also, the pulse voltage developed in the secondary coil L3 of
the transformer T1 is rectified by the diode D2, and the rectified
15 voltage is provided to the capacitor C2, resulting in that the
negative voltage which is lower than the def lection voltage +B
charges the capacitor C2 as shown in FIG. 2C.
The positive and negative voltages, which charge and discharge
the capacitors C1 and C2, respectively, are supplied to the raster
20 center control section 2, and thus the raster center control
section 2 supplies its output voltage to the horizontal deflection
coil ~IDY1 coupled to the horizontal capacitor C3 so as to control
the raster on the cathode ray tube to move to its regular position.
However, the conventional power supply for a raster center
25 controller for a video display appliance as described above has the
drawbacks in that a separate transformer T1 should be employed to
provide a power supply to the raster center control section 2, and
the diodes D1 and D2 for rectifying the small pulses should have
a high operative reliability. Specifically, since the period of

2 ~ 8039q
--
the output pulses of the deflection section 1 for driving the
horizontal deflection coil HDYl is very small (i.e., lecs than
about 2 . 5us), pulse-type ripples are greatly generated during the
rectifying operation, and this causes the operation of the raster
center control section to become unstable in response to the
variation of the input horizontal frequency.
SrrMMARY OF Trrr~ TNVENTIQN
It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems
involved in the prior art, and to provide a power supply for a
raster center controller for a video display appliance which can
prevent the picture movement phenomena of a cathode ray tube by
improving the instability of the power supply for the raster center
controller due to the change of the horizontal frequency.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a
power supply for a raster center controller for a video display
appliance which can reduce the manufacturing cost by providing the
power supply to the raster center controller using the internal
winding of a flyback transformer, not using a separate transformer.
In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention
provide~ a power supply for a raster center controller for a video
display appliance having a flyback transformer for generating a
high voltage for driving a cathode ray tube, and a raster center
controller, coupled to a horizontal deflection coil, for
controlling movement of a raster on said cathode ray tube, said
power supply comprising:
coil means, provided in a secondary winding of said flyback
transformer, for generating and providing to said raster center
controller a pulse voltage signal having a pulse width which

~ 2180399
corresponds to a pulse width of said high voltage developed in said
f lyback trans f ormer;
a first power supply means, coupled between said coil means
and said raster center controller, for receiving said pulse voltage
5 signal developed in said coil means and providing a positive supply
voltage to said raster center controller; and
a second power supply means, coupled between said coil means
and 6aid raster center controller, for receiving said pulse voltage
signal developed in said coil means and providing a negative supply
10 voltage to said raster center controller.
In the present invention, it is preferable that said first
power supply means comprises a diode for rectifying said pulse
voltage signal developed in said coil means and providing said
positive supply voltage higher than a deflection voltage which is
15 inputted to a center tap of said coil means; and a capacitor which
is charged and discharged with= said positive supply voltage
provided from said diode.
It is also preferable that said second power supply means
comprises a diode for rectifying said pulse voltage signal
20 developed in said coil means and providing said negative supply
voltage lower than a deflection voltage which is inputted to a
center tap of said coil means; and a capacitor which is charged and
discharged with said negative supply voltage provided from said
diode .

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the power supply for a raster
center controller for a video display appliance according to the
present invention, and FIGs. 3A to 3C are waveform diagrams
explaining the operation of the power supply for a raster center

2 1 8039~
controller according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, the power supply for a ra6ter center
controller according to the present invention is provided with a
deflection section 11 for generating a pulse signal for driving a
5 horizontal deflection coil HDYll in response to an input horizontal
signal, a high voltage generating section 12 for generating a high
voltage pulse signal in response to the input horizontal signal,
and a flyback transformer FBTll for generating a high voltage
output for driving a cathode ray tube in accordance with the high
10 voltage pulse signal generated by the high voltage generating
section 12.
The power supply for a raster center controller according to
the present invention is also provided with coils L12 and L13,
provided in a secondary winding of the flyback transformer FBTll,
15 for generating a pulse voltage to be provided to a raster center
control section 13 for controlling the raster's movement on the
cathode ray tube; a first power supply section c, , QS~d of a diode
Dll for rectifying the pulse voltage developed in the coil L12, and
providing a positive supply voltage higher than the deflection
20 voltage +B which is inputted to the center tap of the coil L12, and
a capacitor Cll for being charged and discharged with the positive
supply voltage provided from the diode Dll; and a second power
supply section composed of a diode D12 for rectifying the pulse
voltage developed in the coil L13, and providing a negative supply
25 voltage lower than the deflection voltage +B which is inputted to
the center tap of the coil L13, and a capacitor C12 for being
charged and discharged with the negative supply voltage provided
from the diode D12.
The positive and negative supply voltages which charge and

`- 21 80399
discharge the capacitors C11 and C12, respectively, are supplied
to the raster center control section 13 for controlling the
raster ' s movement on the cathode ray tube as the power supply of
the raster center control section 13.
In the drawing, the reference numeral C13 denotes a capacitor,
and L15 denotes a coil.
Now, the operation of the power supply for a raster center
controller according to the present invention as described above
will be explained with reference to FIGs. 3, 4A to 4C.
When the horizontal signal is inputted to the deflection
section 11 and the high voltage generating section 12, the
deflection section 11 generates and outputs the pulse signal to the
horizontal deflection coil HDY11 in response to the horizontal
signal and the input deflection voltage +B. The horizontal
deflection coil ~DY11 is driven by the pulse signal provided from
the deflection section 11.
At the same time, as the horizontal signal is also inputted
to the high voltage generating section 12, the high voltage
generating section 12 generates and provides the high voltage pulse
signal to the flyback transformer FBT11, and thus the high voltage
output for driving the cathode ray tube is developed in the primary
coil L11 and the ~aecondary coil L14 of the flyback transformer
FBT11 .
Specifically, the flyback transformer FBT11 is driven by the
pulse signal provided from the high voltage generating section 12
as shown in FIG. 4A, and thus a high voltage pulse signal is
developed in the secondary coils L12 and L13 of the flyback
transformer FBT11 in response to the deflection voltage +B coupled
to the center tap of the coils Ll2 and L13.

2~ 3~
The pulse voltage developed in the ~Pf-r~n~ry coil L12 is
rectified by the diode D11, and the rectified voltage is provided
to the capacitor C11, causing the capacitor C11 to be charged with
the positive supply voltage which is higher than the deflection
5 voltage +B as shown in FIG. 4B.
Also, the pulse voltage developed in the secondary coil L13
is rectif ied by the diode D12, and the rectif ied voltage is
provided to the capacitor C12, causing the capacitor C12 to be
charged with the negative supply voltage which is lower than the
10 deflection voltage +B as shown in FIG. 4C.
The positive and negative voltages, which charge and discharge
the capacitors Cl and C2, respectively, are supplied to the raster
center control section 13, and thus the raster center control
section 13 supplies its output voltage to the horizontal deflection
15 coil EIDYll so as to control the raster on the cathode ray tube to
move to its regular position.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that the power supply
for a raster center controller according to the present invention
provides the advantages in that since the period of the output
20 pulses is relatively long (more than about 4 . 5,us), causing the on-
time of the pulses to be of sufficient duration, pulse-type ripples
of a smaller size are generated during the rectifying operation,
and thus the raster center control section operates stably even
though the hori20ntal frequency is varied. Further, according to
25 the present invention, since the internal winding of the flyback
transformer is used, instead of employing a separate transformer,
the manufacturing cost can be reduced as well as the reliability
of the rectifying diodes can be improved.
While the present invention has been described and illustrated

21 80399
herein with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will
be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in
form and details may be made therein without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention.
